After having a clock failure on OMNI VI+, the trimmer cap for the clock crystal was adjusted and the clock function was restored, but accuracy was lacking. It had always been spot on. Thinking now t
Is it considered bad operating practice to DX into the input of a 6m FM repeater when the band opens? I know it's done on 10m, but most DX I hear about on 6m is SSB or CW lower in the band. I put up
Anyone keeping parts for OMNI 6+, I'm looking for a nice smoked glass display for OMNI VI+. This covers the S-Meter and main frequency display. Maybe someone bough OMNI 7 and has spare parts for OMNI
TenTec turned my OMNI 6+ around in 3 days from the time they received it. They replaced the 10a and 10c band crystals. It appears that they have fixed it 100%. These band crystals are tied to a maste
Richards, I think the most important thing is to have a good radio - Ten Tec seems to have a knack for AGC and gain distribution - I am told OMNI 7 is world class, every other Ten Tec radio I have us
There are so many caps just like C6 in the Corsair II, yet it seems to be a universal culprit. Wondering if there is some reason why that specific part is being abnormally stressed? == And you jiggle
Anyone seen their clock display changing while the radio is running from the actual time to 04:02? Is the clock part of the display used to display some other rig function, cant remember. tia... Don
Oh how I LOVE Google. Here is the solution - can anyone direct me to help locate the physical location of the variable cap mentioned? http://www.tentecwiki.org/doku.php?id=564clock2 Thanks Again, Don
Thanks Phil - I can see it there and it is labeled C33 so it matches the schematic. I just gave it a twist both ways and a tiny spec of D5 which will not get me in the HF Radio Tech's Hall of Fame bu
Right - email Joe he will set you up - here are some photos from my installation. http://wb8yqj.yolasite.com/corsair-ii-dds.php == hi, need to pick up on a thread - recent postings had been about a D
Excellent set of keys for OMNI VI+ with bolt on inlay. Complete set of keys with the exception of ST and VOX. Inlay has some tape residue in the photo, it is very nice. http://www.zerobeat.net/wb8yqj
The AGC is the "magic" of Corsair II. Having experimented in the circuit I can say the parts selection seems to represent a precarious balance. There must have been some trial and error in the develo
Re: [TenTec] Corsair II AGC circuit from [Steve Hunt] [Permanent Link][Original] Amazing - great work Steve. However it complicates things. It has been easy in the past drawing a line between the ban
The Corsair II serial numbers are inconsistent as Barry suggests and cannot be decoded using the current algo. What I have seen is that the earliest batch of Corsair II have only a string of digits.
Hi Guys, My OMNI 564 started acting a little odd today, I thought I would see if anyone has any suggestions as far as things to consider before packing the unit up for shipment to the factory for s
Allen, What I try to do when there is an intermittent problem (this one qualifys 100%) is to find out some key piece of information in describing it. I will become obsessed about finding out key beha
net? Some guys will squawk if you are 20 cycles off net, but my Corsair II DDS is as stable and repeatable as my OMNI VI+. It also tunes as finely with slow movements. And when you want a big QSY it
Just to add to what Steve has properly suggested, the most practical problem with the PTO precision is not with the display, rather it is with the slop within the worm gear, pistol, grease and spring
